High Protein at Chipotle
Seventy percent of Americans say they are prioritizing protein,³ and more than one-third have increased their intake in the past year.⁴ Chipotle recently introduced a High Protein Menu featuring curated builds ranging from 15 to 81 grams of protein per item, ⁵ including the Double High Protein Bowl, High Protein–High Fiber Bowl, Single Chicken Taco, and the brand's first-ever snack: the High Protein Cup, a side of Adobo Chicken or Steak. 

Chipotle's popular Adobo Chicken is humanely raised and never given antibiotics, so the menu makes it easy to enjoy clean, high protein options without sacrificing flavor. The national weighted average price of a High Protein Cup of Adobo Chicken is $3.82.⁶
